Managing Corrosion in the Chemical Industry

Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level.

Last Friday ChemSec Marketplace hosted the presentation of Nouryon’s collaborative innovation program: Imagine Chemistry 2019.Chemical company Nouryon is looking for ways to create a more sustainable future through chemistry. Through this program, they invite teams to work with them as equal partners and tackle some of the most urgent chemistry-related challenges and turn innovative ideas into reality.

Our first webinar of the year provided attendees with the chance to learn about and stay ahead of the most important trends in chemicals management and regulation for 2019. Chemical Watch's chief analyst Nhat Nguyen and chief customer officer Emma Chynoweth explored the regulatory trends in addition to potential challenges and opportunities that you are likely to face in 2019, including: New chemical notification schemes expected globally, Existing chemicals under the regulatory spotlight.

In cheminformatics today, innovations such as IUPAC’s InChI have created an explosion of interconnectedness for chemical structure databases. Unfortunately, chemists continue to draw 2D structures containing implicit 3D information (chair and boat, Haworth or Fischer projections, etc.). To address the issue, chemical information scientists use software-based ‘standardisation’ of chemical structures and in the process may remove or misinterpret the implicit stereochemistry of the original structure. In this webinar, we will explore an alternative, more accurate software-based ‘interpretation’ method that understands the 3D intent of 2D drawings as a chemist would. Case studies comparing both methods will be presented.
